BRAND! 2019 Jazz Festival: FIRE!
Mechelen is set to be the jazz heart of Belgium for three days in a row. The fifth edition of BRAND! (FIRE!) will include affectionate references to the past four years in a programme that combines young talent, prominent Belgian artists and a smattering of top international names such as the Jakob Bro Trio feat. Mark Turner (DK/US), the Robin Verheyen Quartet (B/US), the Eric Boeren 4tet (NL) and the seven-man ensemble led by guitarist Kim Myhr (NO).
There are a myriad of musical discoveries to be made. BRAND! 2019 promises to offer a meticulously selected series of concerts including intimate performances, rich compositions, daring impro, whirlwind concrete jazz and layered soundscapes. If all that wasn’t adventurous enough, we have several more exciting projects planned for our fringe festival, RAND!. And just like last year, the warm voice of Klara presenter Lies Steppe will be there to guide you through the concerts. In a nutshell, jazz lovers: eat your hearts out!
